Land Rover discovers benefits of Scafftag

Motor manufacturer Land Rover is associated throughout the world with quality and performance - the same attributes they find in the range of Scafftag products at their manufacturing plant near Birmingham, UK.

The Pro-Lock™ system, for example, is used by Land Rover on lockable circuit breakers prior to staff accessing the main isolators, helping to ensure safe and secure isolation. Pro-Lock™ is also used by Land Rover on 1” to 24” valves in the plant for isolating high pressure hot water systems, allowing maintenance and repair to be carried out in a safe environment down the line.

The plant also uses Scafftag’s popular Forkliftag® on its 600 leased forklift trucks.

The Forkliftag® system comprises a highly visible durable plastic holder with a plastic insert listing all items which require inspection on each pre-shift check.

Land Rover’s Strategy and Specifications Manager notes, “The Forkliftag® system was introduced as a safety measure for forklift vehicles. But it is also as part of the company’s policy of preventative maintenance, so that concerns are noted and resolved before they become a problem or danger”. If the driver spots any potential dangers or faults, it is reported immediately to the maintenance contractor team on site. The truck is then taken out of service until the matter is dealt with.

Due to the flexibility of the Forkliftag® system, it has also been adapted by Land Rover for use on delivery vehicles which are offloading. The system helps to ensure that whilst the vehicle is being offloaded, staff are aware that it should not be driven.

The Senior Safety and Maintenance Representative at Land Rover concludes, “Scafftag systems give a clear indication of work being done, are simple to use and very robust. I would take this opportunity to thank Scafftag for service provided to Land Rover over the years.”
